I woke up to a sky that felt heavier than me, Same sun, same world but nothing I could see

Felt like it belonged to the plans in my head, Every road I walked just circled instead.

I tried to hold on to the things I could name, I woke up to a sky that felt heavier than me, Same sun, same world — but nothing I could see Felt like it belonged to the plans in my head, Every road I walked just circled instead.

I tried to hold on to the things I could name, Success, control, even people and fame,

Success, control, even people and fame,

But everything slipped like sand through my hand, Like life had a script I didn’t understand.

So I worked in silence, no crowd, no applause, Kept showing up daily despite all my flaws, Built what I could with the strength I was given, Even when nothing around me felt driven.

There were nights I would question, “What’s all of this for?” Knocking on doors that stayed locked at the core, Watching others rise while I stayed in place, Smiling outside but lost in a maze.

Then I remembered a truth I once knew, Simple, but heavy - honest and true:

“You tie your camel, you do what you can, But trust every outcome is part of His plan.”

So I loosened my grip on what I can’t control, Stopped chasing the world to fill up my soul, Detached from the noise, the pressure, the race, And found a strange peace in that quiet space.

Now I still wake up, still work, still try, Still look at the same unanswering sky,

But there’s calm in my chest I never had before

Because I trust whoever’s writing what I’m working for.
